Good and bad news for Argentina disputes at World Trade Organization
The World Trade Organization decided to implement two dispute resolution panels, one to probe accusations of unfair trade practices against Argentina by the US, the EU and Japan and another regarding Argentina’s claim that US-sanctioned measures affect their meat and lemons exports.
The US and Japan, along with the EU, accuse Argentina of applying restrictions that penalize their exports to the country. Those companies looking to export to Argentina are forced to import Argentine goods at the same time.
The most notorious case is the one led by Porsche, in Germany, which had to commit to import wine and olive oil from Argentina in order to export over a hundred vehicles to the country.
On Monday, Argentina pointed out that the WTO conflict resolution organization had adopted a series of measures last January 25 in order to settle these matters, although plaintiffs said they remained unconvinced of the effectiveness of such measures.
According to WTO rules, the panel has up to six months to review the case and make a decision.
The second panel was created to review Argentina’s accusations regarding the importing of Argentine beef and lemons to the US.
According to the Argentine government, several measures enacted by the US eleven years ago led the market to shut down the importing of frozen or fresh Argentine beef.
Argentina also accuses the US or refusing to recognize Patagonia as a region free of the foot-and-mouth disease, like the Paris based WOAH (World Organization for Animal health) does.

Typical anglo. You like to play with fire but don't like it when others play it on you, huh.
Stop being so hipocritical in everything you do european/anglo/nippon/yankee foreign fiends. You are the KINGS of proteccionism, subsidies, and market distortions. Every single one of you cheaters.
And you can't disprove what I just said because all you will do is come back attacking me personally, or saying Argentina is guilty of the same. But actually refuting that the north is the leader in unfree trade, simply can't.
By the way snotty your English is slipping. Time for you to have another intimate sessiom playing with your thesaurus
I'm guess your jams, jellies and pie sales aren't going too well huh?
So angry and jealouse
7.92/1
Will we see 8 today
I am hopefully optimistic
This is why USA will not accept Argentine meat on the bone!!!!!
The world trusts our MIn of Ag figures and statistics. They dont trust Argentinas
They also hires a couple PUERTO RICANS to dance Tango for us.
So UK economy shrinking (triple dip), US economy shrinking (double-dip), French economy shrinking, Italian econony shrinking, German economy stagnated, Spanish economy in major depression, Brazil economy not recovering...
WHERE IS THE MIRACLE THAT YOU ALL TALK ABOUT ARGENTINA SHOULD IMITATE?
hahahahahahahaha
It is too bad CFK replaced the Ambassador here so quickly with two consecutive retards. The short italian guy was funny and pleasant although I can't remember his name.
BTW no recession here, if you read more than headlines you would know the slight decrease in GDP was attributed to the decrease in the massive Military spending which I am glad. That pig of a Pentagon needs some belt tightening. All my friends that work there take private jets and helicopters everywhere which is infuriating!
The good news is, [they are cows]
The bad news is, they are plastic cows from Milton Keynes lol.

I didn't mention any other country, you did. So please list the “protectionism, subsidies and market distortions” that Australia employs.
You have clearly accused me of being a cheater so now please prove it.
I'm not attacking you either, but I bet you can't show anything that Argentina doesn't also deploy and conclusively show how a free and open economy like mine has damaged our national wealth and lead to a loss of sovereignty.
So no attack.
Several questions.
The floor is all yours.
Remember I'm or Nritish, American or any other nationality so try to restrict yourself to our respective countries.
Slander, false accusations , lying , fraudulent claims are they not .
.
Briton Plastic cows from MIlton Keynes? So thats why the beef tasted a bit funny last year when I had supper in the main square of that “town”
